Falls Church Distillers Relocates, Expands to City of Manassas

Falls Church Distillers, a craft producer of spirits and Ready-to-Drink (RTD) cocktails, has relocated and expanded to the City of Manassas. Falls Church Distillers will produce all of their award-winning spirits and cocktails at their new location at 8420 Kao Circle in Tucked Away Brewing.

The craft distillery is a veteran-owned business founded by Michael Paluzzi, an Air Force veteran, and his son Lorenzo, who holds the title of chief distiller. His youngest son, Christian, who is currently serving in the Air Force, will join the family team later this year and take over daily operations. Founded in 2016, the distillery is well known for their whiskey, flavored vodkas, and premixed cocktails like Virginia Lemonade. Following a run of success at their initial namesake location, Falls Church Distillers moved to Manassas to expand their production and further penetrate the craft spirits market.

“Co-locating with our partners in Manassas at Tucked Away Brewing Company made a lot of sense,” says owner Michael Paluzzi. “We’re able to set up larger processing systems and cut our facility costs while enhancing an already great venue at Tucked Away. While we are excited to focus our efforts on increasing production to fulfill the wholesale customer base, we do have plans to ultimately open up an onsite ABC Store and tasting room for people to experience our various spirit offerings.” 

As part of Falls Church Distillers' move to Manassas, the company will invest over $200,000 to set up their operations and create several new jobs in distilling-related disciplines and sales. 

Falls Church Distillers joins a growing number of breweries, tasting rooms, and distilleries that have made the City an entertainment destination for visitors and locals alike. According to recently released data from the Virginia Tourism Corporation, tourism and visitors in Manassas generated a record $54 million in local expenditures last year, up 36% from the year prior, and while supporting almost 470 local jobs.

Please join the City of Manassas to celebrate the Ribbon Cutting of Falls Church Distillers tomorrow, October 21 at 4 p.m., at 8420 Kao Circle. More information on Falls Church Distillers and their products are available at their website https://www.fcdistillers.com/.
